Process Overview: Metal Fabrication
The difference between an unappealing and a high-quality custom cut metal sign generally is determined by the fabrication capabilities of the sign maker. Obviously, the more capable, the more creative, the more compelling the sign will be. These capabilities include, among others, design, material selection, cutting, bending, shaping, drilling, powder coating, welding and assembly.
For our own custom metal fabrication service, we use state-of-art waterjet cutting systems that are efficient, cost-effective and achieve a high level of precision. Our waterjet cutting systems are equipped with computer-driven, robotically controlled cutting nozzles that operate at pressures up to 60,000 psi, allowing us to make smooth, burr-free cuts with superior edge quality in materials of varying thickness. Our machines are advanced and provide the largest and most comprehensive cutting area available, enabling us to cut and assemble all kinds of metals in different shapes and sizes.
Once the components of a metal sign have been cut to size, they usually need to have color added, and powder coating usually works best because of the number of colors available and because powder coated parts are incredibly weather and damage resistant. After this, the components often need to be drilled for bolts or rivets. Sometimes spacers are added to enhance dimension. Sometimes the components are welded together for the same purpose.
Precision Cutting Service manages the fabrication process inhouse, from start to finish, which makes your sign buying experience much easier because you only need to work with one vendor.
Need Reasons to Choose Custom Cut Metal Signs? We Have Plenty.
Custom cut metal signs come with a range of benefits, some of which include:
Durability
Custom cut metal signs offer a high return on investment as they last long, withstand harsh weather and resist corrosion. Not only are custom cut metal signs durable, but they also are virtually maintenance free, usually requiring little more than occasional cleaning.
Multiple Placement Options
There is no limit to where one can place a custom cut metal sign. They work just as well outside as they do inside and are perfect for building entrances, reception areas, meeting rooms, showrooms and more.
Customizable
At Precision Cutting Service, we like to say that our only limitation is your imagination. Custom cut metal signs can be designed and produced in virtually any shape or size you want and with as many layers are you want. There simply is no limit to what you can achieve with a custom cut metal sign.
Easy Installation
Custom cut metal signs, particularly aluminum signs, are easy to install because from the beginning our signs are designed and manufactured with installation in mind.
Variety
While there are multiple options to choose from, what makes one signage material better than the other? Depending on the budget and concept, a business can choose stainless-steel, aluminium, brass, bronze or copper or mix and match different materials. Stainless-steel is a popular signage material. It is durable and works well with or without color, allows service providers to apply eye-catching finishes and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Aluminium on the other hand, is the most frequently used material because of its strength, light weight and affordability. Brass and copper are not quite as popular but nevertheless make stunning signs, particularly when brushed or polished.
Things to Keep in Mind While Choosing a Custom Cut Metal Sign Service Provider
In-house Service
To ensure that your custom cut metal sign meets your exact specifications and is delivered on-time, look for a sign maker, and particularly a water jet cutting service, that manages all the production steps in-house. Not only will this help in saving cost but it will also help establish accountability through a single point of contact. What’s more? A dedicated team of professionals, available at one place, can take responsibility for the entire process.
Request For Portfolio
While a service provider may have a convincing pitch, a portfolio will help you gauge if they are the right choice for you. A reliable and experienced service provider will be able to showcase their custom cut metal signs for different industries. Seek examples of projects from your own industry and review the quality of the output delivered.
Material Selection
A good custom cut metal sign service provider will have expertise in a range of materials. They should also offer a healthy inventory of different materials. At Precision Cutting Service, we have more than 25 years of industry experience and are equipped with a large inventory of different metals that are perfect for making signs. In addition, we have the tools and resources you need to create the custom cut metal sign than will work best for you.
Delivery Timeline
Typically, it takes about two to three weeks to manufacture a custom cut metal sign. Sometimes it takes less and if the sign is very complex it might take more. Verify the timeline with your service provider and make certain that it fits with your requirements. Precision Cutting Service ships custom cut metal signs to businesses across the country and our highly responsive and experienced team ensures that the output meets your specifications and is delivered on time.
Design Format Requirements
Precision Cutting Service can accept just about any type of design document, including a sketch on a napkin, a complete illustration or drawing, a blueprint with exact dimensions, and/or PDF and CAD digital files. We can also re-engineer a design (including enlarging, shrinking or reshaping) from a piece you bring to be replaced or upgraded. Make certain the service provider you choose has similar capabilities, otherwise, your sign project may never get off to the right start.
